Apple’s RAM Upgrade Pricing Finally fair?

We’re beginning to see companies announce their memory upgrade kits for the MacBook and MacBook Pro models.

In that example, the cost is $139. Apple wants $150 when you order a system, so it appears that they’re finally only charging a slight premium. that isn’t poor considering you have the convenience of not installing it yourself. It’s certainly better than the borderline highway robbery of 6+ months ago when it was $400.

They lowered it to $200 with the last notebook refresh, and soon after to $150 with the new laptop announcements last week. 

Of course, I’m certain there will be lower prices coming along, and

whether you buy from a third party, thereupon you plus have the two 1GB modules from the laptop you can perhaps use elsewhere, or sell to help fund the purchase. Still, for a lot of public I think it’s just easier to order it configured from Apple and not have any of the other hassles. 

Earlier that year I would never recommend anyone get their memory configured from Apple, but now I think it’s a fair alternative to third party memory.
